Addiction



Yeah, it has passed a hobby and now I must admit, qualifies as an addiction. On my favorite knitting website, I discovered they have a new 12 Step Program for us.

We surrender to our higher power, while we knit.
We admit it has taken control of our lives.

We don't care!

I went to Threadbear again today. Not to be confused with Threadbear Two, which is what Joe now calls the basement. See, he found all my stashed yarn collections so now they are out in the open. I have come out of the closet.


I spent some time today trying to figure out what I wanted to start. A friend describes it as "Startitis", meaning you can start numerous new projects and you don't have to intend on finishing them....at least no deadlines. Christmas isn't for 11 months and most of the family birthdays are months away. No gift deadlines.

I looked at orange yarn, since Tate asked for a new pumpkin hat.

Then I tried to figure out what Daniel might like.....Cookies came to mind.....

That one seemed like a little much, so I had to keep looking. I moved on to hoodies for Joey, sweaters for everyone else and soon it was 6pm and Joe was picking me up for dinner. Time flies when you are addicted!
